About RiBridge

This
project was initiated in continuation to a study that had been carried
out as part of an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering [1].
This same project shall cover what the
previous study did not investigate in detail the mechanical integrity of the rib-bridge developed. Earlier this year the initial project that
lead to the novel RiBridge design won the TAKEOFF Seed Fund Awards.

RiBridge is a medical
device that has been specifically designed to be used during chest wall
reconstructive surgery in order to bridge the defect in the chest wall.
The main motive following such a device derived
from the gap in the market for such medical devices. RiBridge is made
up of a titanium alloy giving the possibility of MRAs while offering
outstanding performance.
